Why Hire Purchase?

The simple way of financing vehicle purchase. This is where combined capital and interest is paid by equal monthly instalments over a set period. Title to the Goods remains with the finance company until all the payments have been made, when you become the owner.

There is no VAT added to the instalments and for self-employed or companies, the vehicle is classed as an asset and the interest is tax deductible.

Why Finance Lease?

This is where the customer buys the use of the vehicle and not the vehicle itself. The risk remains with the customer, unlike Contact Hire. Payments are subject to VAT.

At the end of the term the vehicle is sold, if a loss is incurred the customer pays the shortfall, if a profit is made a percentage, normally 5.0%, of the profit is passed to the finance company.

Tax Reliefs – You can claim 100% of the Rentals Against Taxable Profit.

End of Contract – Either sell the vehicle, pay the leasing company their handling fee, typically 5% of sale proceeds, and retain the remainder, or, for a reduced rental, extend the term.

Why Lease Purchase?

This is hire purchase, normally, with a low initial outlay, paid by an agreed number of equal monthly payments and a final payment, or balloon payment, fixed at the outset of the agreement, being paid at the end. When the balloon payment is incorporated it has the effect of reducing the monthly payment. This method is beneficial to cash flow and enjoys the same tax benefits as hire purchase.
